My sister has dropped herself in it!!!

She's been using my mum & dad's pc whilst they're in Malaysia, and she's done the following -

Clicked on the 'edit in Word' function in IE6

Page has loaded up in Word, as it should.

Problem is this - the webpage loaded up is of a personal nature, and she can't get rid of it!!!

I've got her to delete her History (IE6 options), but in Word, at the bottom of the "File" menu, her page is still present!!!

I presume that there is a folder in Word where these files are kept.... where is it?

I need to tell her how to delete it before our parent's come back!!!LMAO!!!

And "NO!", it's not this PC, and yes, I'm old enough to know better (28 - well, nearly old enough!!!)

Quick response please

Cheers,

Dan

Word 2000 Tools, Options, General, Untick "Recently used file list". Click OK
Then put the tick back and you are sorted.

Alternatively, if you're feeling brave, you find most of this stuff is stored in the system registry and using regedit and doing a find, you can find the file lists and delete them. Obviously doing something like this, you need to make a back up in case anything goes wrong!

do a search for recent or MRU

Download a copy of registry crawler.. or similar
